Near midnight, Xu Lai received Elvi's battle report.
As she said, we lost 5 Seraphs and 3 Archangels.
However, compared to the loss of only 8 angels on their own side, the demon side lost 120 abyss lords, more than 30 abyss demons, more than 100 fire elves and 500 winged demons.
Among them, the 500 winged demons were all killed by the dragon knight Eric alone.
Of course, the black dragon killed 490 of them alone, and Eric barely killed 10.
There is no way, few dragons can bully low-level creatures, and few can match it.
The losses of the eight angels on his side had been recovered before 12 o'clock. Xu Lai also promoted three archangels by the way, adding a little more strength.
But the news that Elvi revealed before really couldn't make Xu Lai happy.
The abyss lords fighting with Elvi were just part of the main force that broke away.
Otherwise Elvi would not have fought against the abyss lords so unwisely.
You know, these abyss lords can also fly. Once surrounded by these abyss lords, there is a high probability that the angel army will be annihilated.
Angels are indeed not afraid of death, but this unnecessary sacrifice is completely worthless.
Elwee only knows that there are probably more than 500 abyss lords in the vanguard.
The scale behind them is even larger, there must be 56,000 heads.
Based on this estimate, there must be at least 6,000 or 7,000 abyss lords.
With so many abyss lords, even if each of them could only summon one hellfire, the number and damage caused would be quite astonishing.
Xu Lai only used more than 40 hellfires to bring great chaos to the orc camp.
Xu Lai can no longer imagine how terrifying 6 or 7 thousand hellfires would be.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The demon's movements are being monitored at all times, but the distance between the two parties is too close, so close that at the speed of the demon, it takes less than ten minutes to fly to Xu Lai's head.
Elwee wanted to stay on night watch, but was rushed to rest by Xu Lai because the Angel Legion was the main force.
Giselle carried the quiver on her back and climbed directly to the arrow tower to sleep.
Everyone was very nervous. Xu Lai also specially informed Su Ya to prepare some magic lamps that could shine very far.
Now these lamps are all hung on the top of the arrow tower. Although the movement on the devil's side cannot be clearly illuminated, a huge door-like object can be seen quietly erected in the wild.
Although Xu Lai didn’t know what that thing was, he knew a lot of people about it.
Just generally speaking, as a spell, Hell's Gate requires a lot of mana every second to maintain it. There is no reason to summon it now but not launch an attack.
As a building, Hell Gate relies on the Hell Core, which can save at least half of the mana.
However, in the wild, where does the core of hell come from.
And the Gate of Hell must be based on the core of a human castle-level city.
Although he couldn't figure it out, the facts were right in front of him. When he thought that the hell lords could summon hellfire, Xu Lai had to make some complete preparations.
General summoning spells can be broken in two ways.
The first is to deal with the summoned object. Whether it is exiling it again or simply killing it directly, these are the ways to break the summoning spell.
The other is more convenient, which is to deal with the summoner directly.
After killing the summoner, no matter how many summons the summoner summons, they will be driven back to another world at the moment the summoner dies.
But the summons of the abyss lords are different. Their summons, strictly speaking, is to control the gate of hell.
Even if you kill a certain abyss lord, you cannot send away the hell creatures he has summoned.
The only way is to destroy the Gate of Hell. In this case, creatures that do not belong to this world can be sent away.
But if the creatures coming out of the Gate of Hell do not come from another world, but also from the main material world, even destroying the Gate of Hell will not work.
This is also the reason why the hell troops can use the gate of hell to move around the world at will, but cannot destroy the world.
Once across worlds, the moment the Gate of Hell disappears, all summons across worlds will be sucked away.
Unless this gate of hell is protected by divine power, such as the gate of hell in the Northern Empire that condenses Klingen's body.
Unfortunately, the Hell Gate has been destroyed, leaving the Hell camp without supplies for a long time.
Krigan had no choice but to re-build a special gate to hell in his base camp at the cost of permanently sacrificing some attributes.
If it weren’t for this reason, Kerrigan wouldn’t have delayed it for so long.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the Pope's dying moment to make a quick strike.
Although the Pope has not fully recovered, he has appeared on the city wall, bringing great encouragement to the soldiers of Lionheart City.
More than that, the Pope is the only one who can awaken the sleeping guardian angels in the Angel Gallery.
Fortunately, although Hellfire belongs to the Hell camp, it is a puppet creature.
And puppets like Hellfire are different from the iron men and golden men in the tower.
The Iron Man and the Golden Man are mass-produced by the Tower Master through the Puppet Factory. They are all equipped with Puppet Hearts when they leave the factory and are controlled.
Although hellfire is also a puppet creature, it is uncontrollable unless there are spellcasters like hell lords and pagans who use spells to control them.
This results in Hellfire, which can only appear in the form of summons and cannot be brought out to fight.
Therefore, even those abyss demons can concentrate the forces of the main material world through hellfire.
But if you can destroy the Gate of Hell, you can at least drive the Hellfire from outside this world back to Hell.
No matter what kind of hell gate it is, once it exists, it will inevitably consume resources and magic power.
Just like the teleportation array, mana must be consumed to maintain the teleportation channel.
This has led to a consensus that whenever the gates of hell are raised, the war begins.
But at this time, the abyss lords were not in a hurry to attack, it must be to accumulate enough troops to protect the gate of hell.
After all, in order to rush on the road during the day, the demons in hell all dispatched flying troops.
Don’t look at the previous battle between Elvi and the Abyss Lord, the angels took advantage.
You must know that what Elvi dealt with at that time was only a small number of forward demons, not a large number.
If we are dealing with the enemy's main force, the Angel Legion will inevitably be surrounded.
It is said that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands. The Angel Legion is surrounded and there are enemies on all sides. The key point, according to Elvi, is that the enemy's attributes are not bad.
In the next battle, Xu Lai can add up to one additional sacred prayer, but there is a high probability that it will be dispelled by the demon hero.
Of course, if you deal with it well, you may not be able to keep it for a longer time.
But even if there is this 20% attribute gap, it is not enough to change the huge quantitative gap between the two sides.
What's more, Xu Lai can't afford to lose those abyss lord Kerrigan and the Angel Legion. With the combat power of the Angel Legion, they can rely on their resurrection ability to kill their opponents every day. Losing any one of them will make Xu Lai extremely heartbroken.
There was no way, Xu Lai spent the whole night thinking of countermeasures.
Not only did he not sleep, but Su Ya who was far away in Qingfeng City didn't sleep either.
Because Xu Lai moved all the contents of the warehouse ring to his own private warehouse, and now only the supplies provided by Qingfeng City are left in the ring.
The Dragon Queen Moriel really gave Xu Lai a lot of good things.
Coupled with Xu Lai's own private collection and picking and choosing, he still found many treasures.
First of all, there are those hellfire summoning stones. Xu Lai still has about 50 of these.
Leave those odd numbers to Su Ya, one or two won’t do much anyway.
Xu Lai took all the rest.
In addition to Hellfire, there are many disposable dragon eggs in the warehouse, such as the red dragon egg that can summon the red dragon.
Some of them were traded by merchants and advent heroes, and some were bought from auctions.
But the bulk of it comes from Moriel and Xu Lai.
Needless to say, Moriel is the famous Dragon Queen, and her biggest hobby is collecting various dragon-attribute props.
As for Xu Lai himself, it was because he controlled the entire grassland, and all the treasure boxes obtained by the entire grassland army from hunting wild monsters were sent to Xu Lai Lai.
Moriel naturally did not rely on her own strength to collect the warehouse full of rare treasures.
Xu Lai naturally prefers disposable props when he has no shortage of money or low-level equipment, and a small amount of experience is completely useless to him.
No matter how bad the disposable props are, because they are disposable, their level must be higher than ordinary equipment.
Xu Lai has found summoning props such as red dragon eggs in silver-level treasure chests.
At that time, the red dragon, which only lasted 180 minutes and was only level 7, could not be compared with the high-level treasure golden armor.
But Xu Lai, who now owns an entire kingdom, naturally looks down on mere high-end treasures.
On the contrary, it is a level 7 red dragon. With the blessing of his powerful attributes and specialization, it can have the combat power of at least a level 9 dragon.
The props in the silver treasure chest are randomly obtained at levels 7 and 8, and the props in the gold treasure chest are at least at level 9.
The probability of forming a diamond treasure chest is extremely low, especially in a stable country.
Even if it is formed, Xu Lai will most likely use it in exchange for artifacts or ultimate treasures. No matter how powerful the props are, they are only one-time use after all.
Xu Lai also took inventory of these dragon eggs and other summoned objects.
There are nearly 500 in total, and there are 300 left by Moriel alone.
There are mainly four types of dragon eggs, green dragon, red dragon, black dragon, and golden dragon.
Among them, the Black Dragon and Golden Dragon have a longer duration. The former can last for 360 minutes, and the latter is slightly weaker, but can last for 540 minutes.
The red dragon and green dragon have the largest number, and the duration is also the shortest, only 3 hours, while the green dragon lasts 4 hours.
It would take a lot of time to release so many dragon eggs one by one. After Xu Lai found them, he threw them all to his secretaries.
Yu Lan still has important tasks, and Xu Lai can only give in to these little secretaries. After all, they are all mage apprentices at least.
In addition to the dragon eggs, Xu Lai also found many other disposable props.
There are also other types of summoning stones that can be used for gain, such as summoning Hydra, etc.
It took an hour or two just to pick out these summons.
However, the lowest level of these summons is level 7. The key is that they are not afraid of death, they do not feel distressed when they die, and they do not lose morale. They are still very useful.
In addition to these lower-level summoning stones, Xu Lai also took out the treasures he had always treasured.
Originally, he collected these to deal with Kerrigan and his direct troops.
However, a group of abyss lords suddenly appeared at this time, and they were by no means simple characters.
There is a high probability that these abyss lords are one of Kerrigan's trump cards.
For this reason, Xu Lai gritted his teeth and took out 6 of his 31 summoning stones of the holy beast Water Kirin.
One of them is the one bought at the auction, worth 900,000 gold coins.
Water Kirin can last for 72 hours, which is a full 3 days.
Since they had been taken out, and he didn’t know if the devil would make a surprise attack in the middle of the night, Xu Lai simply summoned the six water unicorns.
Water unicorns have no wings, but they can soar into the clouds and ride in the mist.
After all, it is a level 10 creature that can fly by condensing the water element in the air.
This nameless base camp is not far from Hanjiang River. The surrounding water vapor is extremely abundant, and the water unicorn's flying speed is not slow.
With the blessing of Xu Lai's divine speed, the water unicorn's flying speed is only slightly worse than that of the 9th-level Seraph, and slightly faster than the archangel.
The flying of water unicorn uses the ability of Lingbo Weibu. During the flight, mana is consumed.
Xu Lai divided the 6 water unicorns into two groups, 3 in each group.
The water unicorn is not small in size. As a 10th-level giant creature, it is not inferior to the Behemoth and the giant dragon.
Xu Lai commanded three water unicorns to fly in parallel. After using Lingbo Microsteps to fly up, they left a very wide trail of clouds and mist.
A trail of clouds and mist dropped by water unicorns is about as wide as two lanes, and three of them are as big as six lanes.
Under the leadership of Xu Lai, they flew in a circle above the head of the Abyss Lord.
The abyss lords naturally noticed these holy beasts immediately.
Mendis also immediately dispatched two general-level abyss lords to pursue them.
The two Abyss Lord generals each led a small group of Abyss Lords. Although they were not as fast as Shui Qilin, they successfully blocked Shui Qilin when it turned a corner.
The water unicorn has Xu Lai's bonus, and as a level 10 holy beast, its strength is extremely terrifying.
At this time, they are controlling the water element through Lingbo Weistep. They are regarded as fighting on the water surface, so all attributes are increased by 100%.
The Trail of Cloud and Mist has increased its own hit rate by 20%, allowing them to easily tear the enemy into pieces with the blessing of god-level offensive skills with just one paw.
The most terrifying thing is their natal magical power, hail storm.
The three water unicorns blew out hailstorms together, and they all hit the same direction in front of them.
In an instant, except for the well-equipped Abyss Lord generals, the dozens of Abyss Lords blocking the front were all frozen into ice blocks and smashed into countless pieces on the ground.
The general of the Abyss Lord who was lucky enough to survive ended up not much better. He was attacked by three water unicorns each and was also torn into pieces. (End of this chapter)
